The Fund aims to achieve a combination of growth and income by investing in companies in Emerging Markets countries, which adhere to the abrdn Emerging Markets Sustainable Equity Investment Approach (the "Investment Approach"). The Fund aims to outperform the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (USD) benchmark before charges. The Fund invests at least 90% of its assets in equity and equity related securities of companies listed, incorporated or domiciled in Emerging Markets countries or having significant operations and/or exposure to Emerging Market countries. The Fund may invest up to 30% of its net assets in Mainland China equity and equity-related securities, although only up to 20% of its net assets may be invested directly through QFI regime, the Shanghai-Hong Kong and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect programme or by any other available means. All equity and equity related securities will follow the Investment Approach. This approach utilises abrdn's equity investment process, which enables portfolio managers to qualitatively identify and focus investment in sustainable leaders and improvers. To complement this research, the abrdn ESG House Score is used to quantitatively identify and exclude those companies exposed to the highest ESG risks. Additionally, abrdn apply a set of company exclusions which are related to the UN Global Compact, Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM), State Owned Enterprises (SOE), Weapons, Tobacco, Gambling, Thermal Coal, Oil & Gas and Electricity Generation. More detail on this overall process is captured within the Investment Approach, which is published at www.abrdn.com under "Fund Centre". The Investment Approach reduces the benchmark investable universe by a minimum of 20%. Financial derivative instruments, money-market instruments and cash may not adhere to this approach.
